The bowl has an almost horizontal rim with a rounded edge, and the side is carinated with two convex curves. The upperside of the floor is concave, and the underside is very slightly convex. The base ring is outsplayed with a flat edge and was cast as part of the vessel. On the exterior, a horizontal depression is cut just below the rim.
